THE “OTTAWA SPOTLIGHT”

(Weekly Review of National Affairs)
@

By M. McDOUGALL
@

Ottawa, August 7— The most dis-
turbing of all domestic affairs with
which the government has been ac-
tively concerned in the past few days
have been the labor troubles in three
centres, the aluminium plant at Ar-
vida, Quebec, the coal mines in Cape
Breton and the steel car plant at Ham-
ilton, Ontario. In each case sp<c'al
questions are involved. Investigation
during the next few days will dis-
close whether there was a wilful at-
tempt at sabotage at Arvida. In Cape
Breton a point at issue is an old right
of having a final decisive wage pleb-
iscite among the miners on arrange-
ments made by mine unions with em-
ployers. The cardinal point about the
trouble at all three centres is that the
strikes have seriously affected Can-
ada’s war effort. They have held up
production of vital supplies, and the
country is anxious and determined to
have the disturbances settled with-
out further delay. At Arvida the men
are back at work but golden hours
have been lost. The minister of Labor
Norman McLarty has gone to Cape
Breton to try to straighten out the
mess there and at the time of writing
affairs seem to be reaching a climax
at Hamilton. It is hoped discussions
of labor department officials with
representatives of labor and emp oyer
will put an end to the present impasse

The Duke of Kent, the brother of
the King, is now well launcted on his
air tour of the joint air training
schools of Canada. He will not be
able to see them all. Time will not
permit, but before he returns to Lon-
don in six weeks time he will have in-
spected a large number of iraining
cetres which have been sending an in-
creasing flow of trained airmen ac-
ross the ocean to the air battle line.
The Duke who is an air commodore
of the R. A. F. on the staff of the in-
spector general of the air force in
Britain, said in Ottawa that the Brit-
ish people were “fully conscious of
the great value of Canada’s contribu-
tion to our joint cause in ha ing
thought out and put into operation
the vast Commonwealth A’r Tiaining
Plan. The royal duke who has visited
this country twice before and has a
number of friends on this side of the
water, is very youthful in appearance,
very gcod looking, is modest in de-
meanor and has an engaging smile.

Canada's wheat carryover at the
end of the crop year, that is on July
31, will be shown to be ander 500 mil-
lion bushels. The bureau of statistics
has not yet made its final returns,

gthe item of uncertainty b-ing the am-
ount still in the hands of the farmers.
Some months ago it was predicted
that the surplus would be about 575
million bushels, but as the year pro
gressed exports to the United King-
dom were substantial and well main-
tained. Up to July 25 these exports
were 20 million bushels over the am.
ount shipped in the same period of the
previous year. Another point oof in-
terest in regard to the wheat situat-
ion is that the 15 cents a bushel pro-
cessing tax on wheat milled for do-
mestic consumption is abolished.
This is done to avoid a threatened in-
crease in the price of bread. Costs of
shortening, sugar and wages had ris-
en and it was said that bakers would

Hungerford R

—— =—- ¢
——— $3

have to raise wheat prices unless the
processing tax was dropped. Some
farming organizations had asked that
the processing tax be increased to 50
cents a bushel. The 15 cent tax had
brougi t in a return of about 5 million
dollars which had aided in the govern-
ment’s wheat financing plans. The
condition of western crops caused by

heat and inadequate rainfall cf
course a matter of paramount interest
to Ottawa at this time. In eennection
with the harvest it is pointed out that
the earlier estimate of a reduction in
wheat acreage of about 23 per cent is
believed to be abort accurate.

Observers in the capital find diffi-
culty in understanding why there has
been such a fuss over the gasoline re-
striction regulations. It isn’t that
there has been much oppsition to it,
but what they cannot fathom is why
the cut in consumption has not been
more prompt and complete. Britain
took gas restrictions In its stride.
The oil controller, G. R. Cottrelle,
however, says that the reduction in
the first ten days across Canada has
been about 15 per cent, and in the lar-
ger centres 30 per cent, and with the
spirit of cooperation being shown he
predicts rationing won’t be necessary.

The appointment of Walter P. Zel-
ler, a business man of standing, as an
executive assistant to Minister of War
Services, J. T. Thorson, has met with
general apprval. He will be in admin-
istrative charge of the tourist policy
of the Dominion. The Canaman tra-
vel bureau has been and will continue
to be in the capable hands of Leo
Dolan, but with Mr Zellar in charge
of administration Mr Dolan will have
more time to carry out his extremely
important work of propaganda and ad-
vertisement. The tourist traffic is
of such importance to this country and
its development is such an immense
task that there is plenty of scope for
both officials.

Minister Thorson has announced
also that all war charity organiza‘ions
will combine in a single annual drive
for funds. This will be in the spring,
while community chests and other civ-
ilian welfare organizations will app-
eal for funds in the autumn. The
rest of the year wil be left oppen for
the government to launch its loan
drives, The Canadian Red Cross
Society, whose humanitarian activities
in wartime are in the words of the
Minister “above praise”, has joined
with the other war auxiliary bodies in
the spring drive. The Red Cross has
been sending ten thousand boxes
weekly to British prisoners of war.
It is now raising its shipments weekly
to thirty-five thousand.

Miss Olive Vanalstine was the guest
of honor on Sunday afternoon August
3rd at th home of Miss Dahphene Van:
der Velde. A supper was served, this
being her twenty-first birthday. The
afternoon and evening was enjoyed

TOWN COUNCIL HOLD
REGULAR MEETING

Power Rate Effective Next Reading

FINANCIAL STANDING OF TOWN

1s SOUND

With one of the longest agendas on
teh table for some time, Council look-
ed forward to a midnight or better
session at their meeting on ‘Tuesday
evening. However, cucting ou ail side
issues, and sticking straight to busi-
ness, the whole matter was finished
at a reasonable hour,

Tenders having been submitted for
the building of a concrete sidewalk
on Sixth Sureet from Second to Third
Avenues, they were examined at the
meeting, and the contract awarded
to M. S. Hirtle, the work to be com:
pleted by September 15. The town
property committe were asked to see
that the walk in all places should be
higher than the boulevard, to allay the
danger found in other places of melt-
ing snows freezing on the concrete.
Rebuilding the plank sidew Jk on 354
Sireet from Second to Third avenues
at four feet was left to F. Jones. The
new walk will be built in the centre
of the previous six foot strip, aud en-
trances to houses will be built in to
meet existing walks.

A motion was passed allowing a
discount of three per cent on al 1941
taxes paid before October 31, of this
year.

Bylaw No. 216, an amendment to
the franchise of the Calgary Power
Company in Strathmore, changing the
domestic rates from their present
status to a basic minimum of $2.80
per month with a discount of 30 cents
for prompt payment, including tle
first twenty kilowatt hours and a
charge for anything over twenty of
two cents per kwt. hr., was read a sec-
ond and third time and passed. The
new rate will go into effect with the
September billing, that is, the account
starting on August 18, when the light
bi.ls are normally on the jump. This
action was taken to allow the sma ler
consumers, the benefit of smaller
consumption during the summer
months, at the present smaller mini-
mum charge. ‘The new rate, figured
on last year’s total consumption, will
save something like seven to eight
hundred dollars annually to the c‘ti-
zens,

A report on the tax sale was read,
and revea'ed that all lands going
through the tax sale proceedings do
not become property of the town for
one year after the sale, during which
time the owner may redeem, Town
has the right to rent this property for
one year,

Keporting on the Locker Plant, the
Secretary said that no response had
been received from the owners, nor
had anyone bid on the plant,

The Coun
cil were anxious to see that the users
of the locker were fully protected,
and their equity retained, It would be
quite serious if the affair were shut
off, owing to the large quantity of
perishable goods in the plant. In this
connection, one of the councillors was
asked to see the Johnson Investments
Company of Calgary, who own the
building, and see what position they
will take, Johnson Investments own
the building only, the plant and
equipment are property of the Cold
Storage Locker Plant Co. In order to

etires from Saddle

Montreal— It has been announced
by W. H. Hobbs, secretary of the Can-
adian National Railways, on behalf of
the Board of Directors that Mr 8. J.
Hungerford has resigned as president
of the Canadian National System, in-
cluding Canadian National (West In-
dies) Steamships Limited, Canadian
Government Merchant Marine Limited
and other subsidiary and affiliated
companies, but will retain the position
of chairman of the Board of the Rail-
way, and that Mr R. C. Vaughan, now
vice-president in charge of Purchases,
Stores and Steamships, has been ap-
pointed President and Chief Executive
officer of the National Railway Com-
pany and its steamship and rail sub-
sidiaries. The appointment took ef-
fect July 24.

It has been announced that Mr Hun-
gerford has resigned as president of
Trans-Canada Air Lines and that Mr
HH. J. Symington, K. C., will succeed
him as president of the airline. Mr

Symington has been a director of T.
C, A, since its inception.

Associated with these
ments the following statement
issued on behalf of the Board—

“In submitting his rsignation to the
Board Mr Hungerford stated— ‘The
responsibilities and activities of the
Canadian National System are contin-
uously expanding and the war has
brough many new problems affecting
the whole range of the railway’s
work. I feel that it is advisable that
we take styps at this time designed
to ensure continuity of executive
judgment and action not only through
the present time of stress but also in
the years ahead, and this can best be
done in my opinion by the appoint-
ment now of a younger officer to be
Chief Executive of the System’.

“The Board accepted Mr Hunger-
ford’s resignation with regret but
were gratified that he would remain
as chairman of the Board and that the

announce-
was

meme ne ali

Canadian National Railways would
therefore continue to have the bene-
fit of his great experience and know-
ledge of the affairs of the system. It
was noted that he will continue as
president of National Railways Muni-
tions, Limited. The Board recorded
their appreciation of the debt of grat-
itude which Canada and the National
System owe to Mr Hungerford, whose
outstanding constructive’ and operat-
ing abilities have played so import-
ant a part in the development of the
System.

“The Directors of the National Sys-
tem were fortunate In being able to
announce the appointment to the pre-
sidency of an officer having the ex-
ceptional qualifications for the post
possessed by Mr R. C. Vaughan, whose
railway career extends cver some 42
years. In appointing Mr Vaughan to
the Chief Executive office the Direct-
ors look forward with confidence to
the continued development and _ suc-
cess of the National System”.

see that nothing can be done to harm
the interests of users without giving
them full warning, the Town Sol cit-
or was asked to see what coud be
dene about legally tieing up the equip-
ment so that it could not be moved
precipitately.

Permission was granted giving the
Secretary power to collect the educa-
tion tax, The Financial Statement for
the first six months of the year, was
read and showed the town is in a
very favorable position. Taxes have
been coming in very well, and the
bank balnce is better than at the same
time last year,

The handyman is on holiday this
week,

There have been a number of com-
plaints concerning cattle and horses
running loose and causing warious
forms of damage. Gardens, trees on
the boulevards, drill field in the
skating rink, park property, and ap-
parently even ‘Go Slow, Children’
signs have all come in for their fair
share of destruction. Since owners
seem to think the matter has ap-
proached the point of a joke, and do
nothing whatsoever about it, instruc-
tions were issued to have the animals
impounded and expenses charged to
the owners.

Motion was made to lease a plot of
land in the Hoffman subdivision for
one year.

In accordance with a request recei-
vd from the A, M. A. the Secretary
Was asked to write a letter to the Pro-
vincial Government asking that more
and better roads be built, in order to
help invite the tourists who are will-
ing to come,

Permission was granted the M. D.
Bow Valley to run a gravel entrance
into their machine shed. Concrete, it
was shown, was completely impract-
ical, and a gravel bed could be easily
maintained at sidewalk level.

One hundred and fifty feet of new
fire hose arrived on Tuesday, and two
lengths of repaired hose were receiv:
ed back.,.One of the largest turnouts
on record was shoown at the firemen’s
meeting on Tuesday, and while there
are still a few vacancies on the de-
partment, the fire chief is gratified at
the way things are progressing.

Accounts to the amount of $193.00
were passed, and one was turned over
to the town property committee to be
checked, and brought back to the
next meeting.

Creek community was suddenly ber-
eft of her husband last Thursday fore-
noon. Mr Runk who was 79 had been
working at the chicken house and was
apparently overcome by the heat. He
went into the house, sat down and
suddenly expired. Thinking he was
seriously ill, Mrs Runk who is well ov-
er seventy started to run to the near-
est neighbor to secure help. The men
were just coming from the field at
noon and seeing Mrs Runk approach-
ing, went for her in the car. Together
they hurried to Mr Works to plone
for the doctor. On his arrival Mrs
Runk was informed that her husband
had passed away.

The funeral wag held at High River

A smiling sun looked down on a gay
scene on August 6th when a _ happy
laughing throng filled the Patrick-
McMurray lawns. Union Jacks, Red
Cross flags and bunting created a very
patriotic and attractive setting for the
various games and aitractions which
comprised Bridge, Bingo, Clock-Golf,
Tea, Darts, Hit-Hitler-Muss Mussi-
Jip-Jap Throws, Fortune Telling,
Home Cooking, Flowers, Candy, Sup-
erfluity table, Children’s Raffle, Mus-
ic by the Band and a dance in the ev-
ening.

A box packed with complete
tents for a Prisoner of War
was an interesting exhibit.

Interesting representatives of John
Bull and Uncle Sam were an added
feature,

The Boy Scouts and Cubs gave val-
ued help in various ways, and _ the
young girls as Tea servitors played a
busy and essential part.

Brilliant Flood lights illuminated
the lawns at night, adding their rays
to that of marvellous moonlight.

The jewelry raffled by Canadian
Legion was won by Mrs Raymond of
Calgary, while Mrs Norman Taylor
won the Wicker Doll Set,

The Red Cro.ss motif was further
carried out by a Red Cross centering
each tea table.

The result of the afternoon and ev-
ening was most gratifying, the peo-
ple attesting by their patronage their
sympathy with this worthy cause,

WORLD’S LARGEST
POTATO FARM

SENDS FORCES MILLIONS OF
PACKETS OF CRISPS

Two English villages, whose names
are recorded in William the Conquer-
or’s Domesday Book, today supply
Britain's fighting forces with millions
of packets of potato crisps.

They come from 20,000 tons of pot-
atoes, grown on the world’s largest
potato farm and producing about 125,-
000,000 packets of “crisps” a year. It
is the biggest purely agricultural es-
tate in Englind, covering an area of
7 1-2 miles long by 4 1-2 miles wide of
the best Lincolnshire heath and fen-
land. It is served by a light railway,
with 30 miles of track, 120 trucks and
5 Diesels engines, and it takes in the
whole of the village of Nocton and
most of Dunston.

All the potatoes from the estate,
and the output of 80 other farms, are
turned into “crisps” in ten factories
distributed throughout Great Britain.
There are two other factories in Aust-
ralia, one at Sydney and the other at
Melbourne. The English and Scottish
factories use 40,000 tons of potatoes a
year to produce 5,000,000 packets of
“crisps” a week. They supply Britain’s
civil population as well as Service
canteens and troop-ships.

A special variety of potato, the
Muizen, was imported from the Neth-
erlands and this strain, now quite ac-
climatised to Britain, still gives the
best results,

THE WEEK IN EDMONTON

| Pot Pourri |

An old-fashioned Hebrew employer
remonstrated when one of his employ-
ees asked for a raise on the ground
that he worked too hard. “Why,”
protested the employer, ‘you have an
easy time of it. Look! There are 365
days in the year. Eigi.t hours each day
you sleep. That makes 122 days, lea-
ving 243 days. Eight hours of each day
you have all for yourself. That leaves
121 days. I give you an hour for
lunch every day and that amounts to
15 days more, leaving 106. You do not
work on Sundays — 52 more days off,
leaving 54. You get Saturday after-
noons off—another 26 days, leaving
28 days. You have two weeks for vaca-
tion every summer and you take ab-
out a week off for sickness, Only
seven days a year to work— and New
Year’s, Washington Birthday, Decor
ation Day, July 44th, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas are
holidays, Besides you take your Kip-
per off. | should give you .a_ raise?
You owe me money.”

@ Gas Regulations—

Departmental representatives from

all branches of the civil service met
in emergency meeting last week to
discuss gasoline regulations as they
affect the service, and to formulate
plans for the ironing out of current
difficulties, Afterwards a special
committee headed by George A. Clash,
director of government purchases was
named to seek a remedy. As the regu-
lations have been interpreted by the
oil controlier, civil servants whose
duties take them to outside points in
government cars must purchase their
gasoline requirement under the head
of pleasure cars ,paying cash on the
spot.

This situation, it was pointed out,
is causing dislocation of department-
al accounting systems, since the cus-
tomary method is to use credit cards.
in addition, the spot cash ruling de-
prives the province of considerable re-
venue in the form of remissions of
sales and excise taxes, and it was de-
clared loss of this would throw out of
balance the whole budgetary program
of each department.

Mr Clash said when all suggestions
received from departments are pool-
ed, a workable plan will be introduc-
ed for consideration. Meantime, the
order has gone out to all field men to
observe regulations and conserve
fuel.

ALBERTA CROP
REPORT

Alberta crops suffered a severe
shock during the past week, Only the
irrigated districts. the Peace River
area and the extreme south survived
the intense heat during the week
without serious results. Central dist-
ricts were most severely injured.
Rainfall was negligible and deterior-
ation was continuing in all areas at
the date of this report.

In the eastern part of the province,
from a point just south of Lloydmin-
ster westward to Totfield, and south-
ward in an irregular line to Gleichen,
and north-eastward to Sibbald less
than half a crop is now possible even
with immediate rain.. Within this par-
ticular area crops from Lougheed to
Czar, and in a large section centering
around Cessford, are conceded to be a
practical failure in that the yield can
only provide a very small return,

From Milo to Retlaw in the south,
not more than half a crop can be ex-
pected even if weather conditions turn
favourable. Stubble crops were burn-
ing-in the extreme south but summer-
fallow was holding up with only slight
injury.

The Peace River district also is be-
ginning to feel the effects of the heat
wave, but no appreciable damage had
resulted in that area up to the week-
end owing to the ample supply of
moisture.

All areas with the exception of the
extreme south and the Peace River
district, suffered sharp declines in
condition, Rain is urgently needed
over the entire province,

Practically all wheat is now headed.
Winter wheat cutting is expected to

Finance Dept. Trying To

Systematize Public Appeals
For Money
@

Ottawa— The Canadian Red Cross
Society has agreed to a request from
ihe government not to proceed with a
separate national drive for funds this
autumn and to join with other auxil-
iary war services in one united ap-
peal next spring. War Services Minis-
ter Thorson announced today.

To Systematize Appeals—

The finance department had been
trying to systematize public appeals
for funds. Its view was that the field
should be left clear in the fall for the
appeals of the ordinary peacetime

the rest of the year clear for the gov-
ernment’s own public financing.

“The amount of the united drive
next spring has not been decided as
7 but it is likely to be a very large

’ Mr Thorson said.

ibs joint appeal of the five organ-
izations last spring raised $7,000,000
compared with a $5,500,000 objective
and the Red Cross last fall raised
$6,000,000 with a $5,000,000 objective.
May Close Office—

He said he anticipated the office
of Maj. R. J. Watrous of Brantford,
Ont., director of human and material
resources, will be closed soon. This
small office with only a handful of em-
ployees did useful work but now it
seemed to be a duplication of other
sections of the department.

He said th enational salvage cam-
paign, now being conducted under
Maj. Watrous, would be handled by
another branch of the war services de-
partment.

More Food Boxes—

Mr Thorson said it was his under-
standing there now are about 70,000
British Commonwealth prisoners of
war, The increase in the number of
food boxes to be packed by the Canad-
fan Red Cross was caused partly by
an increase of prisoners and partly
because of “some kind of difficulty in
doing the packing in the United King-
dom,”

He said one or two other organiza-
tions besides the six big ones may be
allowed to participate in the united
war services drive next spring. As
was the case this year, the united
drive wil] be known as Canadian War
Services Fund, Inc.

Mr Thorson sald Ms Justice Gor-
don felt the Red Cross activities
should be restricted pretty well to
such war work as aid to bombing vic-
tims in Britain, aid to prisoners of
war, preparation for the care of woun-
ded soldiers (not including hospitalli-
zation) and blood serum preparation,
and he added—

“I think the Canadian Red Cross
Society will be working largely as a
wartime agent of mercy and that a
number of its other activities will be
dropped off.”

Tobruk

Editorial From the New York Times,
July 27th, 1941.

The British garrison holding To
bruk is now in its fifteenth week of
siege, yet it holds out as firmly as it
did in the beginning. New activity
on the North African front suggests
that its relief may be among the pos-
sibilities of the near future. But
whether relieved or not, its garrison
has already won imperishable laurels.
It is understood to comprise a divis-
ion of Australian troops with some
Indian auxiliaries. The commander is
General Leslie Morshead, whose ten-
acity and resource have brought him
up from the ranks to divisional hon-
ors, For more than three months Gen-
eral Morshead and his tough fellow-
countrymen have held Tobruk under
conditions that would have defeated
most garrisons. Tobruk itself, a col-
lection of flat-roofed buildings around
a bay of the Mediterranean, had no
fortifications of inherent strength.
The Australians dug themselves in.
Their water-distilling plant was bomb-
ed and wrecked early in the siege.
Their harbor is a@ graveyard of sunk-
en ships to which only small craft can
now obtain precarious access, The
heat of an African Summer has been
all but unendurable. But they have
held every inch of their ground.

drive for the auxiliary war services
should be held in the spring, leaving

THAT COUNTS

There is perhaps no better illustration of co-operation between an industry
and the people it serves than that of the implement industry and farming.

Its inception was the making available to other farmers the tools which one
ingenious farmer developed to lighten his own labors and ated him to accomplish
more in the always-too-short seasons,

Its support by farmers to the point which has enabled the building of organiza-
tions financially strong enough and technically equipped to carry on large scale
experimental engineering has increased its efficiency and usefulness to the benefit
of every farmer.

In the implement engineer, the farmer has had a partner ever intent on finding
easier and more profitable ways of doing the jobs he has to do. The co-operation
of the Implement maker, in this respect, has transformed farming and made farm life

MILADY’S HOSE

What shall they be?

Silk, Rayon, Nylon, Lyle, Cotton,
Cashmere, painted or nature’s own?

It is a weighty problem!

Again with the Air Force wanting
silk for their parachutes, the fair sex
MUST forego the silken hose..

It is a strange world my masters.

Here again must the sense of self
gratification give way to the urgent
needs of warfare. And it should not
prvi much real concern,

We remember the day when milady
was quite happy with a pair of good
lyle hose, They were warmer too on
frosty days.
